Star Empire

The two devices, the Cosmic Reference Anchor and the World Gate, should be said to be the final products of two super projects built by the empire with endless resources. Relying on massive resources, countless tests and improvements, the empire's goals and requirements were finally realized.

There is no doubt that these practices have made the empire's territorial structure achieve a considerable improvement.

At this stage when the people of the empire are united, technological development continues to make breakthroughs, and the civilized environment is booming, in this environment that seems to be built only under ideal conditions, countless research and hard work are turning into results-in these relatively delicate conditions, In the process of continuous breakthroughs in algorithms and equipment groups that require precise quantification, research on arcana and souls has also gone a long way.

Promotion from the depths of the soul may also require probability or talent, but the most important thing is that you can achieve some kind of enlightenment through deep thinking about certain phenomena, yourself or the world, or you have completed your relationship with order. With certain balance and promotion, special souls may appear.

Crystal energy is like blood in the bodies of current imperial individuals. They flow according to rules and are used, but they are not subject to arbitrary control and influence by subjective thoughts.

The arcane energy is different - it can be controlled to a greater extent by the influence of subjective thoughts in the traditional sense, and under such a nature, the weight fluctuation and gathering of the soul becomes relatively simple, and from the direction of thought. The unique shock value assignment method produced determines that the promotion branch in the arcane direction will inevitably be more biased towards the part that was once considered "ideal".

"It's hard to imagine how boring it was back then. Everyone just walked through the catalog one by one."

"After all, everyone has to go through this step. Without profound accumulation and hard work of predecessors, how could we achieve today's great achievements?"

"Yes, and beyond the main trunk are the details. The main trunk can be extended to us. It is not easy to extend to this step."

…

The Star Empire was revived in the year 577.

"Arcane individuals have changed so much... In just two to three hundred years, five groups of ascendants have evolved... Moreover, the unique "arcane processes" they have are all within expectations, but they are Now we can imagine the ‘unexpected’.”

Vidoville looked with envy at Vesrifan beside him and the "first people" of the five promoted groups in front of him. In this process, the empire network ensured that all the needed information could be If the permission conditions are met, it will appear in the consciousness of the requester without delay or reservation:

"Currently, as far as crystal energy controllers are concerned, although there are changes that can cause the overall crystal energy assignment method to have a regional cataclysmic weight enrichment effect, in fact, doing so is specializing a certain degree to a great extent. On the one hand, crystal energy controls elements, but this also makes such an assignment model unfavorable for development.”

The crystal energy assignment patterns and weight change curves of the three "promoters" representing different crystal energy control systems are constantly changing. These different curves are the differences in the probability of crystal energy assignment that have mutated. "It is quite different from the alignment, but in actual application, these three modes all tend to be stable and comprehensive in constraining crystal energy. In other words, their power changes are biased towards the defensive system even if they are widely used. But here you have It can be said that the changes have realized many difficult processes that we could only imagine in our imaginations.”

"I once said that arcane energy operates in a mode that we may have only expected, but have never truly experienced." In contrast, Weisrifan did not struggle so much, feeling the prosperity of the new system. Development, she now only has the purest happiness and more surging confidence in her heart, "We have also worked hard in the process of controlling the arcana. Except that the soul has been highly integrated with the arcana, it is already somewhat difficult to identify the operating methods. With the eyes of true seeing, we have observed in detail every process in which arcane magic changes from pure rough information that can be shaped at will to physical materials that can be controlled in detail - currently, it seems that it is completely different from crystal energy. The more we want to carefully observe the point at which arcane magic is given external anchor information and finally extracted, the more blurry the results we get. Therefore, we speculate that the use of the arcane system itself is still related to crystal energy. Similarly, it still needs to be assigned, but its assignment process itself is chaotic. Arcana is not directly processed into the advancement of information fluctuations, but is given into related operating modes similar to fuzzy "inherent processes" , and the further rune control system is also similar to this idea."

"They are all standing here now, um, Fru Erwin, the world line annexer, or the probability collapser, this terrible lottery experience world line, something that has never been realized, can now be Single player experience and control.”

"For now, probability collapse means the infiltrative control of perceptible and identifiable probability lines through arcane energy, so that the originally parallel and equally weighted world lines will move closer to a fixed path and no longer have The effect of room for turning back.

In other words, when the scope of influence of such power reaches a certain level, perhaps the word "destiny" will lose its meaning - under will, any event will develop according to a fixed arrangement, but the more detailed the operation of probabilistic events, the more The higher the requirements for the operator - judging the development direction of the massive information lines within the identifiable weight requires very high calculation ability. At the same time, the intensity of the object itself will also affect the stability of its own existence. Therefore, just like this ability, they have unlimited development probabilities and directions, but the final development results still need facts to speak of, so this is just an initial theory - don't be so surprised. "

"Dilzera Doct, the mind controller??" Vidoville wanted to break into a cold sweat, but this body didn't have this function a long time ago, let alone now - "There is such a thing as mind-influencing memes It has existed before, but it is probably the first time for our civilization that it can be directly transformed into process and control power."

"That's not to say that it's completely unknown - first of all, similar processes completely exist in the systems created by many of our ancient works. Considering the unified theory of information and possible information disturbances, such an existence is completely reasonable - and When we were just following the technological route, psychological researchers already had many methods of overt or covert psychological guidance and suggestion, but now, these arcane controllers directly borrow this more direct image power. .”

"The control method of arcane energy, or the assignment process, can be completed almost entirely by mental power, and this mapping can also be established in reverse - the variant arcane energy has higher fluctuations in some frequency bands than before, thus affecting the mental state. The affinity between the power and the soul is excessively increased, and then the guest dominates - this is somewhat similar to Eskett's competition for the weight of crystal energy.

Before the target reacts, establish a control map and break into the backdoor, and use it to connect to a more powerful total information control source and overwrite the target's original mind - it has to be said that this kind of ability would have been absolutely impossible if it were placed tens of thousands of years ago. A malicious existence, especially when the rational thinking module is allowed to go offline. "

"Aliciel Cassia, the creator of illusions?? According to the records, it seems that this ability was originally considered not outstanding - the illusion can be returned with almost one shot for the high-level Taichu information fluctuations. It has penetrated the existence dozens of times, and since this illusion cannot directly invade the target's consciousness, it was not taken seriously when it first appeared - but it is similar to the world barrier to a certain extent?"

"Don't be surprised, Vidoville, this result is the result that Zhai Cahill has confirmed several times with his own eyes, and then asked many people to do many experiments on the brain. Everything is information. Distinguishing true and false at this level is like wondering whether positive and negative numbers are both numbers - even if an environment is illusory, as long as we fill in enough details for it, it can still exist independently. Since it can be separated from the existing The world barrier exists independently, so why can’t it be called true? Why can’t it be given a world barrier?”

"When the so-called illusion is complete enough and self-consistent enough, and everything is information, there is no difference between reality and illusion. This barrier can be completely separated from the ordered world environment and become an independent entity in the void. The world barrier, and studying this process will make the empire one step closer to mastering the truth, and even being able to artificially mass-produce the universe." Facing Vidoville, whose chin was dropping more and more, the girl spoke from the bottom of her heart Unabashed pride.

"Perth Tyrant, the trend evolution matches, the chaotic evolution of crystal energy is currently only suitable for dealing with the current clear goal, but after the arcane energy is superimposed with mental power control, relatively speaking, it can go further on a trend. Far more stable. Does this have a certain correlation and conflict with Erwin's ability? This seems to be very suitable for enriching the function of the universe's benchmark stabilizing anchor, and on this basis, the world's world line operation can be deduced. Prophecy?"

"After expected disturbances are added to key nodes, these more long-term and stable arcane energy simulation environments that can be maintained will become an abstract but independent world line. At the same time, this world line will also be highly similar to reality, and due to The world line itself is independent from the real world, and disturbances can be added at will. Therefore, such an existence that can be called "predictive ability" can not only predict the future, but also has a very strong possibility of world simulation."

"Then the last one. Desset Aphra, the controller of time, the soul structure is uncertain??!" In this regard, Vidoville wanted to say something, but in the end he just shook his head, "About the description of time. , if we push it further back, to when crystal energy was just discovered, the definition of time was not clear at that time, and a seemingly non-existent time dimension has been wandering on the edge of science and speculation."

"Yes, but now it is certain that time in the traditional sense is a virtual concept. It is not a certain "dimension" that actually exists as it was once thought. But if time itself expands the definition of the concept, everything itself will They all reflect the evolution of time - the synchronous evolution of time, and the evolution of information and information. When expanded in this way, time can be considered as a pan-concept level existence.

In the unity of information, it is on the same level as crystal energy and arcana - in the traditional sense, time will be attached to the universe, and the universe will be shattered to pieces under the bombardment of the crystal energy light spear. The level of crystal energy itself is higher than the so-called traditional Time, but the crystal energy light spear itself also requires a process from being launched to acting on the target, and this process is the evolution of information, which is the "time" of the crystal energy light spear itself. "

". If you want me and the entire empire to accept it, it may take some time to get used to it. In addition, maybe the equation of the appearance of the person should be changed. The recognition is too low..." Victorville looked at it. Looking at the five people in front of him: uniform arcane robes with purple lines on a white background, eye color and hair color affected by arcane energy, somewhat similar to the pointed ears of elves, body and height similar to those of the same sex, and people from various backgrounds. Exquisite facial features in a sense... "Clone phalanx..."

"Tsk, let me tell you...we don't produce grapes and lemons here now, why are they sour all of a sudden?" Vesrifan glanced at Vidoville with some anger: "You yourself also know that crystal energy itself is better than Austrian Techniques are more stable and require more and precise push to achieve a clear evolution. This means that the direct evolution of the Crystal Energy Fang is less, but it is also more stable after being derived. In this regard, the two high-level information It’s egalitarian in every sense of the word.”

"I know I know……"

"You have been given the second authority level, and the group of promoted people based on your special abilities should also be put into the replication stage in large numbers in a very short period of time. As the first person, you must fulfill your training responsibilities. and leadership responsibilities - you are excellent, but for the empire, only an excellent team, an excellent collective, can have the power to promote the empire." Weisrifan glanced at the arcane five in front of him, "At the same time, it should be said that different groups of promoted people have different actual needs in terms of quantity and weight. You can make your own decisions on this part. There is only so much to explain. Please step back first."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Weisruifan asked, looking at the world between the two of them that had become silent again.

"Yes, regarding high-level energy, we have to think about how to face it in the future." Vidoville nodded, "After all, although this kind of high-level energy appears directly in front of us, it is a bit rare. , but in the unified theory of information, there are actually countless types of high-level energy, and it is very likely that each high-level energy has some unique properties. If we say that every time we encounter new high-level information, If we need to match it with a new utilization technology..."

"Tsk, no matter how much you think about it, I think you are overthinking it." Wei Ruifan smiled and shook his head, "Look at this, this is the predicted frequency fluctuation curve of crystal energy and arcane magic. Take a good look, crystal energy and The very structure of arcana contains the secret of why we should master them."

Two huge holographic projections instantly surrounded Vidoville. In the holographic projection summoned by Weisrifan, two curves that were constantly vibrating at ultra-high frequencies were jumping. If you look at it intuitively, The waveforms of these two curves are almost identical - close frequencies, almost uniform peaks and troughs, and the infinite extension of the curve itself. If the curve itself in the projection is not filled with two completely different forces, it would seem There really is no difference.

"...They are all long and seem to be infinite."

"You--that's all you can see?"

"...It's just to lighten the atmosphere. Of course I can see it. First of all, the difference in basic assignment between crystal energy and arcana itself. This is what we have discussed before. Crystal energy needs a stronger and more stable external source assignment method. The method of assigning value to arcane energy can completely rely on mental power and the heart. It can be said that crystal energy occupies the materialistic world that we once believed to change, while arcane energy occupies the idealistic world that was once "falsified"."

"It's actually not accurate to say this..." Weisruifan gently held his chin with his right hand: "Idealism once believed that the world and everything in the world was created due to thinking... This kind of thinking is naturally too absolute. But under the unification of information, the soul, mind, will and body are all information, just like various actual existences. They are just different combinations of information. The world exists objectively, and the view that thoughts create the world is not accurate, but It is not accurate to subjectively deny that spiritual power can have an impact on the world... Crystal energy is similar to an extension of traditional technical means to understand the world, while arcane energy fills the gap in the field of using spiritual power, which is complementary... …”

"clear."

"Another point, this is my guess - at least in my opinion, most of the possible extraordinary information similar to this should be crude embryos that are very suitable for re-cultivation. To be honest, as intelligent creatures , our understanding of the outside world, the various methods required to receive outside information and make changes to the outside world have been completely covered by crystal energy and arcane magic - in the future, new high-level information will appear, and it is very likely that it will be similar. As for the big differences... we can try to weaponize them first."

"Prioritize weaponization...Lil, in this case——"

“The tone was set early, and it wasn’t just me who set it.”

Restoration Era 633.

"Send briefing to all of the Empire:"

[The Star Empire has confirmed two void quadrants; fifty-seven colonized universes. The world gate network matching the territory has been basically completed. The network of stable anchors in each universe is in good compatibility and operating well. 】

[The total number of citizens of the empire has reached forty-nine orders of magnitude, including the eight promoted groups. The definition of authority and the operation of the information network are in good condition. The missing official parts after the empire's reorganization have been spontaneously filled in by individuals with third and fourth authority levels. The network protocol matches individual activities in the world to a very high degree, and society is functioning well. 】

This is the "initial tone" set up at the beginning of the empire, and it is the hope of all empire rulers - now, although this civilization structure, which looks like it is composed of many autonomous robots, still has many shortcomings, Compared to the Federation, Vidoville has dared to claim that this is the only way to fully mobilize and unleash the power of all the people of the empire.

If we only look at the political structure, the Federation itself should be said to have no problems - even if everyone is full of doubts about their own experience and past, it is undeniable that the Federation has existed for more than 10 billion years and led the planet. Civilization has climbed to the pinnacle of civilization in the universe—during the last long period of stability of the Federation, it has reached the ultimate level of theoretical values—resources are already very abundant, and all citizens have abundant spiritual and material conditions. On this basis, everyone can spontaneously provide abundant strength to the federation. His thoughts are extremely rich, broad and profound, and he can perfectly seek common ground while reserving differences between different ideological systems. Although the legal system suffered certain deviations due to the final stagnation, generally speaking, during that period, almost all classes in the Federation were able to completely abide by the rules that should exist, and everything could be resolved. In the end, all parties dealt with the details and found no fault.

The Empire currently has enough conditions to occasionally recall the Federation in its free time - although the image of the Federation will always change when observed from different perspectives and starting points.

Perhaps next time, if the federation is considered whether its rules are reasonable, it may become a strange giant covered in scars and terminal diseases, and the many problems contained in it are enough to trigger a new round of research on past history. Even panic. But it is undeniable that the Federal Era also represents the past glory of civilization.

But under the Empire, everything was different.

After this radical change, the Star Federation transformed into the Star Empire, and what was changed was far more than just the political system.

Compared with the limited time and space in the Federation era, the Empire has been able to obtain almost all the resources it wants from an unlimited basis.

This is fundamentally different from the productivity and production methods during the Federation - a difference that has never been expected before, and no model can cope with it. Under this premise, the original superstructure can no longer support this increasingly large whole.

The empire must explore on its own and find the feasibility, loopholes and deficiencies in its own operation. For an empire to reach a new height, the empire must work hard to explore a new and suitable superstructure. That is far from the A job that can be done in one day. What's more, re-improving the superstructure is probably just the beginning.

Who can be sure that the concept of superstructure can continue to exist?

…

The superorganism is constantly absorbing knowledge from the outside world and transforming it for its own use. In this process, civilization will become more and more adaptable to its surrounding environment and become stronger and stronger.

Based on the vast space and time, various reports swept through the center of the empire like snowflakes.

…

There are many positive parts to this.

But there are also some worrying reports - when the order system expands, the empire will have to face a large number of strange events that have never been seen before, but are entirely possible:

"Highest Urgent Report:"

[Forty-second Colonial Universe, the cosmic benchmark stabilizing anchor's information calculation and processing capabilities are approaching the critical value, and the cause of the accident has been determined: a large-scale unexplained explosion occurred in the arcane energy extraction array of the space channel near the world barrier, and the VHF arcane The magical energy tore down the world barrier, but the cosmic baseline stability anchor could not re-lock it from the inside. 】

[Part of the symptomatic situation has been discovered: at the center of the explosion, there are unknown entities that interfere with the control system. 】
